Joseph and Moroni – 7 Principles Moroni Taught Joseph Smith – LeGrand L. Baker – ISBN: 9781890718992.

Hardcover; with dust jacket. NEW.

This is the story of how an angel taught a boy to be a prophet. In it, we follow Joseph’s life from the time of the First Vision until he completed the translation and returned the Gold Plates to Moroni. It is the story of a remarkable friendship. Moroni had two responsibilities: first, to give Joseph the Gold Plates and teach him how to translate them, and second, to teach Joseph how to be a prophet. The principles Moroni taught Joseph are these:

• First Principle: One Does Not Speak Too Openly About Sacred Things

• Second Principle: One Must Learn How to Recognize the Feeling that Identifies the Holy Ghost

• Third Principle: Integrity is Keeping One’s Covenants with God.

• Fourth Principle: Sometimes Prophets Must Make Their Own Decisions

• Fifth Principle: Friendships, However Important, Are Not as Important as Keeping God’s Commandments

• Sixth Principle: The Lord Has Already Planned for His Children’s Success

• Seventh Principle: The Lord Provides Whatever Help He Understands We Need
